Mitchell wants the Labor Department to deny U.S. agricultural labor recruitment services to farm employers who do not pay migrants the prevailing local wage rates, do not provide adequate housing or safe transport facilities. In two days of public hearings in Washington last week, farm employment groups battered his plan (earlier 29 farm-state Congressmen, mostly Southern Democrats, had branded the proposal "illegal, immoral and impracticall"). Alone among farm organizations, the National Farmers' Union came to Mitchell's aid, and the Very Rev. Msgr. George G. Higgins, of the"National Catholic Welfare Conference, praised Mitchell for "the greatest...
Although a fifth still describe themselves as "conservative" in temperament, over half prefer the safe and evasive category of "moderate liberal." In addition, a sixth of the students appear willing to admit that they remain "politically indifferent." Neither Hoffa nor the "missile-gap" can arouse them from their lethargy.

...tears, to face Harry Murphy ("Murphy the Great") and his submarine ball. Murph awes even his catcher, Lyle Adcock, 10. "We don't have any signals," admits Lyle. "All I do is hope he doesn't throw too hard and that I can catch it." Playing it safe, Lyle wears a pair of boots under his shin guards to absorb the force of any errant fastball. Not only did Murph win all eight of his games of five innings each, but he struck out 108 to account for all but twelve outs, allowed only 18 hits. Although Murph...
